Description: | Cast copper alloy annular Medieval buckle.The frame is circular in form and D-shaped in section with a pin constriction to one side. This holds in place a copper-alloy pin formed from a sheet folded over the central bar, it narrows slightly towards the end which just touches the outer frame. At the centre of the frame is an integrally cast copper-alloy bar that appears to be cylindrical in form. This holds in place a separately cast copper-alloy buckle plate that is folded around the bar to create an upper and lower plate, the lower plate being smaller than the upper. Both ends of this plate are curved, giving two semi-circles. There are two circular rivets which are keeping the two plate ends together. The front face of the upper plate is gilded and may have had some decoration but it is not clear now.
